Register connection type to a specifc page

[nunospot]

Hello,

Is there a way to register a post type to a specific template page?

Example:

function connection() {
p2p_register_connection_type( array(
'name' => 'connection',
'from' => get_page_template('the_template.php'), //the page template
'to' => 'the_post_type'
) );
}

Connect a post type "the_post_type" to the pages that have the "the_template.php" template?

Thank you.

Did you ever end up figuring out if this was possible? I just inherited a project using this plugin and need to accomplish something similar.

No. This was a "nice to have" thing :\

I don't think you can restrict the actual connection to a specific page template, but you can only show the p2p interface on certain templates using the p2p_admin_box_show filter: https://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/wiki/Actions-and-filters

<?php
function restrict_p2p_box_display( $show, $ctype, $post ) {
	if ( 'posts_to_pages' == $ctype->name && 'to' == $ctype->get_direction() ) {
		return ( 'YOUR-TEMPLATE.php' == $post->page_template );
	}

	return $show;
}

add_filter( 'p2p_admin_box_show', 'restrict_p2p_box_display', 10, 3 );
